Punta Cabras Cove

This is a landscape taken from a sketch I did out on the Punta Cabras peninsula looking eastward over the two bays, dunes, and mountains. This is a very unique spot on the pacific side of the Baja peninsula a couple hours south of Ensenada. A very thin isthmus separates two coves. The one to the south is well protected and acts as a mooring station for local fisherman in their pangas. Fresh catch and seabirds abound and salt fills the air. Rich iron ore, reds and browns, contrast with the shimmering blues of the water, green coastal scrub and cholla cactus. There is a rawness to the place, but also a sweetness. Original painting is 60″ x 36″. Latex on wood panel.
